To Wrap Yourself In Light, J. Marshall Freeman

Description

To Wrap Yourself in Light: Collected Stories by J. Marshall Freeman is a dazzling and genre-defying collection that illuminates the beauty, absurdity, and resilience of queer life across worlds both real and imagined.

Spanning the boundaries of science fiction, literary fiction, fable, and fantasy, these stories are alive with passion, wit, and heartache. In Freeman’s luminous prose, the ordinary becomes extraordinary—and the extraordinary feels achingly human. From artists who fight with weaponized desire in war-torn solar systems to politicians who turn bedtime stories into national nightmares, from mythic love affairs under starlit skies to moments of revelation in quiet suburban rooms, these tales explore what it means to love, to lose, and to live in the light.

Featuring two award-winning stories—“Curo the Filthmonger” and “The Grove of Mohini”—this collection is a testament to Freeman’s range and vision. His stories pulse with eroticism, humor, and moral gravity, invoking a tradition that spans from Ursula K. Le Guin to Jeanette Winterson.

With a voice at once intimate and cosmic, Freeman invites readers to journey through stories of tragedy and triumph, reminding us that even in darkness, there is light—and in every light, a story worth telling.
